POSTED 15th OF Oct, 2025, Posted by Summer

The Next Leap for Real-Time Rendering

Chaos Vantage has already changed how archviz and VFX professionals visualize their work, turning long render waits into instant, ray-traced previews.

Now, with Vantage 3, Chaos pushes real-time rendering even further. You’ll get open-standard flexibility (USD + MaterialX), photoreal atmospherics, AI-powered material generation, and smoother handling of massive projects all in one tool.

Why Artists Are Excited About Vantage 3

Forget incremental updates. This release completely reshapes how you build, explore, and present your scenes.

Cross-tool freedom: Work across 3ds Max, Maya, and Houdini with USD and MaterialX.
Massive-scene performance: Navigate dense environments without cutting them apart.
AI material creation: Generate realistic textures from photos in seconds.
Cinematic realism: Volumetric fog, light rays, and Gaussian splats for photogrammetry.
Expanded Cosmos assets: More people, vegetation, and props for instantly rich worlds.

Build Without Barriers: USD & MaterialX Support

Vantage 3 now speaks the language of modern pipelines. USD and MaterialX integration means your materials, lighting, and animation data move cleanly between tools. Collaboration across teams or entire studios just got smoother.

Handle Massive Projects Like a Pro

Architectural walkthroughs, full urban layouts, or heavy VFX scenes? Vantage 3 keeps them all responsive. You can orbit, light, and tweak details in real time without breaking the project into smaller files.

Bring Reality Into Your Renders with Gaussian Splats

Render real-world scans directly inside Vantage 3. Mix and match 3D objects with captured environments perfect for digital twins, set extensions, or realistic previs shots.

Create Mood and Depth with True Volumetrics

Fog, smoke, and god rays now render in real time. Add atmosphere, simulate natural lighting, and achieve cinematic realism straight from the viewport—no post needed.

Capture Authentic Motion with Camera Tracking

Record a real camera’s movement and translate it into Vantage 3. The result? Natural camera motion without manual keyframes, perfect for realistic previews and directing sequences.

Duplicate, Offset, and Animate Smarter

Need crowds, traffic, or looping motion? Offset animation lets you duplicate animated assets and adjust their placement independently fast, flexible, and fully interactive.

Generate PBR Materials Instantly with AI

The new AI Material Generator, built into Chaos Cosmos, transforms your reference photos into ready-to-use PBR materials complete with all the necessary maps. Perfect for filling large scenes with believable detail in minutes.

Edit Materials Directly Inside Vantage

Switching back and forth between your DCC is officially over. Tweak, preview, and finalize materials right inside Vantage 3’s Material Editor, and experiment with advanced texture mapping, probability controls, and surface variation.

Light the Night Now Astronomically Accurate

Create night skies that follow real-world star positions, moon phases, and even the Milky Way. Whether it’s a serene cityscape or a dramatic landscape render, realism now extends beyond daylight.

See the Final Frame as You Work

The new Render Mode shows you exactly what your output will look like resolution, aspect ratio, sequence framing without breaking your flow. Plus, the new Selection Mask View lets you export object masks directly for compositing.

Natural Landscapes, Faster Results

Scatter Clustering introduces smarter grouping for vegetation and props, generating organic patterns with just a few clicks. Combined with 5,000+ new Cosmos assets, you’ll build lush, realistic scenes faster than ever.

Coming Soon: Real-Time Rendering Inside Your DCC

The upcoming Hydra Render Delegate will let you use Vantage’s real-time renderer directly inside your favorite DCC app no extra windows, no exports, no slowdown.
